This is Sirens, a new series brought to you by the Ladies of bombshell, where we dissect the institutions of American power.

Join us as we sound the alarm on technology, governance, and national security issues, and maybe lure some men, or in Rada's case, some flying insects to their deaths.

I'm Lauren DeYoung Schulman. I'm Aaron Simpson. And I'm Roda the Bug Killer Plum.

Which you did not have to hear live on air. You just had to hear about it now. Welcome back to the

latest episode of Sirens. Thank you to all of our returning long-time listeners who've been

listening to us across many presidential administrations,

decades, et cetera, as well as new listeners. Thanks for hopping on. And if you are interested

in hearing, learning more about this or ask questions, we can find this on Blue Sky at

SirensPod. So we are going to start out as we always do with a bizarre question. In this case, none of us actually

have a real answer to the question, which maybe is like the sort of part of the course. We have a

fake answer. But we'll do it anyway. What is the national security threat that no one is paying

enough attention to except maybe some member of your family who is obsessed.

So I'll go first with my not real answer, which is, it turns out no one in my family cares

about national security threats. And so the weird person in my family is just me. And it is,

which I think is kind of right. And the national security threat is the data that's

going from deep seek AI to like bite dance, which I like, I have literally a Google alert and like

track the articles about both in the China news, which is more subtle. And then occasionally

when it pops into

Western News and then Percy defred about it without really having any way to do anything or

change anything. And there you go. Deep Seek. I'm going to put a pin in this to come back to

for a future question of what Google alerts do you have set? Because Rada is actually a fascinating

font of Google alerts. Everyone's small like, what? You have what? Because Rana is actually a fascinating font of Google alerts.
